I first found
Asia For Kids about ten years ago after I adopted my older daughter from
Cambodia.
I was looking for children’s books written in English but with a Cambodian theme.
I struck out at my local library and did not find much at my local bookstore so I took to the Internet and came across Asia For Kids (
http://www.afk.com/).
This online store sells over 3000 carefully selected items including books, games, cookbooks, dolls, holiday-themed items, puzzles, videos, and language teaching materials.
Where else can you find dice in Hindi, a Korean card game, a decorate your own Chinese lantern art kit, Hebrew, and Japanese, a Families of Vietnam video, and Dr. Seuss books in Chinese and English?
Here is an excerpt from the “about us” portion of their website:
